Re: Shadows of Eriador

As a new member of SoE and a long time MMOer who has experienced a number of different guilds in various games, SoE is one of the best. This is the perfect Kin if your interest is to have a good time and meet some of the nicest people in LOTRO. In the short time I have been a member I have been made to feel welcome and I feel accepted as a true member of a Kin and what is Kin? Family.

Thank you Arkhon, the officer corp, and all of the great members for accepting me as a member of SoE. I am honored to be amoung you.

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Been working hard lately to get everyone leveled and geared; we're hitting Sword Halls and the other Dol Guldur instances with a vengeance. We've also been going back and enjoying older content-- Annuminas, Goblintown, Carn Dum, and the like, gearing up our mids and just having a good time! I'm proud to run with such a fine group of people-- if wholesale slaughter and good company is your gig, apply today on our website. We're always happy to meet new players with a sense of adventure, honor, and humor

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Today on the 4th of July, Shadows of Eriador (Lotro Chapter) is 1 year old! That makes SoE Gaming 11 years old - yikes we waste a lot of time playing games. Happy Anniversary you freaks, and Happy 4th of July to you all!

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Been a good month, grats to Eowaith on 65, and pre-grats to Druzil for the same accomplishment! Had great fun earlier in the week hitting the Rift, grats on all who won the drops for the armor (if even just for cosmetic use ) and geat job all for overall progress and having frakkin fun along the way

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Just joined this kin and so far its looking pretty dang good! Encourage any players looking for a kin to check out their site. A nice number of members, active in many aspects of game, have ventrilo and their own forums and are a very friendly bunch. What more could anyone want?

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Thanks for the kind words Pad, glad yer having as much fun as we are!

Recruiting is still open as we gear up for the F2P onslaught coming in just a few short weeks - we will of course allow Free players to join up and are more than happy to show them the ropes, but due to their level and zone restrictions we will never overlook the VIPs who are dedicated to Lotro and all of it's endgame glory.

As always, SoE is first and foremost a casual kinship, but we have more than enough people to tackle any raid the game can throw at us and have been having a blast lately being nostalgic and hitting the old raids a few last times before Book 2 changes them forever /sigh lol

Look for any of us in game for questions and/or check out our newly revamped website www.ShadowLotro.com for more info!

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Hip deep in Enedwaith and having a blast! Ton of new recruits of excellent quality and room for lots more - come join the fun at www.ShadowLotro.com (assuming you can navigate out of these horribly slow and ugly new forums lol)

Re: Shadows of Eriador

October Bump! (with the proper forum name - thanks for fixing that Turb...now fix the 30.4 million other stupid changes and bugs with the "new" forums lol)

SoE is rolling along bigger and better than ever. We have been pleasantly suprised with the high quality of new recruits from among the F2P influx! Not all Newbs are n00bs. We're also very happy with the return of many old friends, within the kin and among our many other Kinship friends and allies. There are still a lot of minor issues with all the new changes, but honestly we consider the whole F2P experiment to be a success. (don't let it go to yer heads, Turb...still got a long way to Mordor so stay focused!!)

Isengard and the Tower of Orthanc loom ahead - the last obstacles to the Gap of Rohan and the steppes of home. The time to prepare for the War is coming to an end. With whom will you stand?

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Recently came back to the game from a long hiatus, and was freaking amazed at how awesome Shadows has been doing! Not only still around but still the coolest bunch of people I know. We'll see how good their patience is with all my newbie questions about all the changes since last year lol.

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Inundated. That's the word I'm choosing lol. We've been inundated with a flood of new recruits, mostly from F2P and again we're impressed with the quality of ppl the Free experiment has brought in. Bree OOC is still funny as hell to read though our new members have proved that those jackwagons in /ooc are the exception to the rule. Most of the new players are smart, mature, and overall great people and we're glad to have them aboard!

And though we have a great crop of newbies and lowbies, end game continues to be regularly tromped whenever we can be pulled away from helping out the kin or just laughing our ends off in vent. The game has always been about the fun here in SoE and always will be. Drama and politics are for the weak and those with obvious self-esteem issues. We're here to play a video game and have fun while doing it.

Re: Shadows of Eriador

Are you brave enough to Take the Black?

SoE is a 14-year old gaming organization currently focused on Lord of the Rings Online. Shadows of Eriador, our Lotro Chapter, is a Lifespan Rank 10 Kinship with our over-decorated Kin Hall located at 1 High Road, Brougham, Bree Housing. We have our own Ventrilo server and website www.ShadowLotro.com which offers many tools, forums, and guides, as well as active presences on Facebook and Twitter (@ShadowLotro).

We are a mature (age 18+) group of men and women from all walks of life and various time-zones ( Majority of our members play US Evening and Weekend hours, though we have several European timezone members as well ) with many real-life friends and families among our ranks. We are focused and driven to achieve everything this game has to offer, yet do so in a casual, laid-back environment - we tend to take the game more seriously than we take ourselves.

We run regular weekly Kin Events, with most raids/skirms/pvmp happening on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays - though we regularly run spur-of-the-moment mayhem based on our members and when they are/can be online.

Currently Looking for Lore-Masters, Minstrels, and Burglars primarily but all classes remain open

Re: Shadows of Eriador

much more info than the dreadfully terse press release. SoE has had dinner reservations for Orthanc for nearly 4 years now, hope the hostess there hasn't lost them...or collapsed into a pile of dust in the interim...

Re: Shadows of Eriador

New poster bump! ahh photoshop, how thee distracts me...

Recruiting chugs right along, we are happy to welcome all the new faces that have appeared (dirty and lonely and starving) on our doorstep, nearly a dozen since New Year's alone! Next month's Bree March is going to lag like hell lol.

Don't miss SoE's next march! Those who do have to follow behind and clean up after all the horses lol.
